No candidate has been elected. The lowest remaining candidate Daly-Finn (FG) has been eliminated. The sixth count is underway with the distribution of Fine Gael candidate, Dympna Daly-Finn’s 2,425 votes. It is unlikely anyone will be elected on this count. Eugene Murphy (FF) has overtaken Aisling Dolan (FG) on this count, and the forecast is that Daly Finn’s transfers could favour Murphy based on geography rather than her running mate.
